Installation
------------

OptiView runs on Linux, MacOS, and Windows, and supports both ``amd64`` and ``aarch64`` architectures. It can also be installed directly on Sima DevKit, provided the board has Internet connectivity during setup.

.. include:: ../overview/blocks/install_sima_cli.rst

.. code-block:: console

    sima-cli install optiview

Accessing OptiView UI requires **Google Chrome** browser. After a successful installation, when the user start OptiView, a URL will be displayed in the command line interface. Copy and paste this URL into a Chrome browser to access the OptiView interface.

.. note::

    On desktop platforms, the installation process will either automatically install Docker Desktop or prompt the user to do so. This is required because OptiView runs as a container on desktop systems. The user may need to restart the computer after installing Docker Desktop and try installing OptiView again if it doesn’t work the first time.

**Run OptiView**

.. tabs::

   .. tab:: Desktop Platforms

        **On desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, or Windows)**: 

        After installation, navigate to the OptiView installation directory. The user will find a ``run.sh`` script (for Linux/macOS) and a ``run.bat`` script (for Windows). At the end of the installation process, these instructions will be printed to the terminal. Run the appropriate script to launch OptiView.
        
        By default, OptiView is installed into a folder under the ``~/Downloads`` directory. The user may move this folder to a different location if desired.

   .. tab:: DevKit

        **On the DevKit**:  

        Once installed, run the following command to start OptiView:

        .. code-block:: bash

            sudo optiview

After launch, a local URL will be displayed in the terminal. Open **Google Chrome** and paste this URL to access the OptiView user interface.

To stop OptiView, press ``Ctrl+C`` in the terminal window.
